Is this a sign of over feeding?

Can anyone take a look at these photos and tell me what’s the problem here? I believe it may be as a result of over feeding, soil drains well, PH of the run off was 6.4.

Maybe over fed a little while ago. Plant is nearing maturity & these leaves look like they can afford to be removed anyways. Pluck them off & if you think your over feeding them stop over feeding them

Well I’ve stopped feeding them and been flushing for the last few days, will resume reduced feeding protocol from tomorrow, affected leaves have been removed so we’ll see how it goes from here

Next time dont continually flush, just get a runoff ppm reading and go from there. Normally you can just withhold food just giving plain water, flushing isn't usually the answer. By flushing you remove all nutrients, compact soil, and flood roots. Personally I'd raise ph to 6.7 you're missing magnesium, calcium and phosphorus for the most part at 6.4 given you flushed what nutrients were in soil out, you may start having deficiencies. Only time I'd be okay to flush is if overfeeding was so bad I had a toxicity. Dark shiny plastic looking clawing leaves. Calmag isnt as important in flower but you'll want to provide all the phosphorus the plant can use.

Ok first let me apologize for using the wrong terminology, when i said ‘flushing’ what i actually meant was i started feeding her plain water instead of nutrients, I wasn’t actually trying to ‘flush’ everything out……but i appreciate your response all the same, I’ve always tried to maintain my PH between 5.5 and 6.5, never really tried going outside of those parameters…..
